Great report and lovely photos. It must have been a really nice trip. I've only been down in that canyon once, on the Alum trail and then down the canyon. Have you read Dutch Salmon's "Gila Descending" about that same stretch (and beyond)?

Thanks Mike! I have read it. I powered through the relevant part before we launched, and then enjoyed the rest in more leisurely fashion once we got back. Great read! I meant to plug it in the report. Thanks for the reminder.
